Don't Google his password.
I remember really liking the Lostprophets sound - some of the songs are absolute bangers - but the band and it's name are forever tainted now. What a massive shame for the other band members to have their livelihoods pissed out the window by some nonce.
I mean, it's a minor inconvenience compared the the lasting effects on the victims.
A horrible, horrible rabbit hole to go down.
edit: for the love of god, check which Ian Watkins you're googling too. The lad from Steps is a decent spud by all accounts.
Damn. Because too many will want to know after such an ominous statement: his password was "If***kids", without the censoring.
I feel like the actual things he did are worse than the password.
I agree. But somehow the password makes it even worse.
